What Is the Difference Between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13?
If you are interested in filing for bankruptcy as an individual, then you have the option to file under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. While both provide similar outcomes, they are vastly different processes. Chapter 7 bankruptcy requires you to liquidate certain non-exempt assets, sell them, and then use the proceeds to repay your creditors. The benefit is that your debts will be discharged in just a few short months.
On the other hand, Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a lengthier process that can take anywhere from three to five years. During Chapter 13, you will have the chance to restructure your debts, create a monthly payment plan, and repay your creditors in order of priority over the next couple of years. At the end of this process, any remaining debts will be discharged. One benefit is that it may be able to help you halt or prevent foreclosure.
